@Setanta,
Setanta wrote:That's a parcel of lies.
Nope. As usual all of my statements are completely correct.

That's nice. It doesn't change the reality that the firestorms were caused by British bombers deliberately spreading incendiaries throughout the city center and not by American bombers doing their best to strike the railyards.
Setanta wrote:The RAF bombed north of the city the night before, hitting refugee camps. They didn't know they were refugee camps--not that that would have mattered to Arthur Harris or Winston Churchill.
The RAF bombed the entire core of the city (intentionally) the night before, causing the firestorm that destroyed said city center.
Setanta wrote:It was the USAAF who bombed in daylight and caused the fire storms.
No, when the American bombers came and tried to strike the railyards, the firestorms already had been raging for hours and were either out or winding down.
Setanta wrote:There were American POWs in Dresden who confirmed that the daylight bombing started fire storms.
If a POW believes that he witnessed such a thing, he was confused as to what he saw. There is plenty of historical evidence that the firestorms were caused by the RAF's nighttime bombing of the entire city center.
Setanta wrote:C.I., who served in the Air Force, provided a reconnaissance photograph of the petroleum storage tanks in the rail yard by the river, which was the first target hit by the USAAF.
I do not remember his post, but as I'm the one who was arguing that the US bombers were trying to strike the railyards, I'm sure the photograph added to the mountain of evidence proving that I was completely right and you were completely wrong.
I do remember one from Walter showing the railyards relative to the city center. It was really comical how you acted like you thought it somehow proved me wrong when it actually agreed entirely with everything I said.

As has already been noted, I've admitted it every single time someone has pointed out an error I made. You just weren't the person who was able to achieve such a thing.
And if you have the guts to link to the thread in question (I'll bet you don't) it will be readily apparent that everything happened exactly like I say it did.
Setanta wrote:There is no such thing as the "Byzantine" Empire.
Not anymore. The Muslims destroyed it.
Setanta wrote:That's a modern scholars term.
It's their term for an actual historical polity.
Setanta wrote:The Romans called it the Roman Empire, and called themselves Romans. The Turks called it the Roman Empire, and called them Romans. The Franks, who began plundering, raping and murdering as soon as they entered Eastern Europe, in particular the city of Belgrade, called it the Roman Empire, and called them Romans. The Seljuk Turks had invaded the southern fringes of the Roman Empire, in Anatolia and Armenia. That's in Asia, it is not in Europe.
That doesn't change the reality that the Muslims invaded the Byzantine Empire and had destroyed the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.
Setanta wrote:There was no Muslim nation or entity which was attempting to invade Europe.
Funny how Vlad Dracula (the psychopath, not the vampire) had the privilege of impaling so many invading Muslims.
Setanta wrote:You are, of course, constitutionally incapable of ever admitting that you are wrong, so, once again, you have constructed a fairy tale narrative about this topic.
Once again, I've admitted that I've been wrong every single time it has been pointed out to me. You are just not capable of finding any such errors.
And if you bother to link to the threads in question everyone will see that my description of them is perfectly accurate.
Setanta wrote:When you say here that Muslims did invade Europe, which they did not, and you provide no evidence of your claim, you make my case for me.
First of all, I didn't say here that Muslims invaded Europe. When you pretend I said something that I didn't, that only proves that you are hallucinating.
However, since you brought it up I'll say it now. The excellent Vlad Dracula of the principality of Wallachia was confronted with a large body of invading Muslims, and thankfully Mr. Dracula knew exactly to do with Muslims who invade your country.
Setanta wrote:None of this is the topic of the thread. Read the OP again. It's about Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Shinzo Abe's call for the "de-nuclearization" of the planet. The topic of this thread is not you and your bloated ego.
I'm not the person who made this about me. You and the other two clowns are the ones who did that. My posts were 100% on topic until you jokers decided to change the subject and make it about me.
Setanta wrote:Stop trashing my thread.
I'm not the one who is trashing your thread. You're doing that all by yourself. All I'm doing is defending myself against all the untrue statements that you are making about me.
